So I checked my airline on this. I'm booked with AirAsia. And apparently I did a non refundable. So I cannot cancel as I would not receive any refund. And there wasn't even options to receive credit either. It looks like I can change the ticket, but with change fee added on it's gonna be like 2200 extra. I was looking at bus tickets for the return to Thailand and can probably get a bus ticket for around 700. So I'm wondering in this case, maybe it's better just to miss the return flight (as in, just not show up) and book the bus ticket when I need it? Is there any problem with this scenario with regards to the DTV? Cuz I think I read something about we need to enter our return details in the application. If I put my returning flight in the application but actually return by land, is that still ok?

After reading some of the comments here, I'm wondering if I can just cancel my return flight back to Thailand and receive a refund and then use that money to book a bus ticket when I'm there as I'm sure bus reservations are more flexible and can also book last minute?

Right. I did look it up and they're closed April 14, 15, 16. So maybe processing time will be an extra 3 days on top of the already 11 working days?

@Wannikea ********

I'm not even going till later in April. Arrival Cambodia April 27. But it's Cambodia. Thai New Year is in Thailand. Will embassies in Cambodia still be closed the whole week? If they are, I expect probably a huge backlog of applications.

How long did it take you to get the DTV?

Anonymous participant Check your visa in Vietnam. I heard Vietnam visa is 90 days. You said you were only there a week.

I just realized that one of my banks I was going to submit statements for has my name listed as "Joe", but on all other documents including my passport it has my name as "Joseph". Is this going to be a problem?

If they ask for it anyhow, why not go ahead and submit it so it cuts down on the processing time?

@John *********

That makes sense if you renewed your passport, then you have to go in person.

Hmm... So I'm hearing most of you say it MUST be done in person. But looks like only one person here has had personal experience of ONLY doing it online. Does anyone know what the TRUE and ACCURATE answer is?
